More pleasant surprises

I received another lovely surprise in the mail today; a package from my wonderful blogging friend, Deborah, who was the first friend I made out here in blogland. Deborah does all her work by hand and adds so many details that it was a real treat to finally see some of her work up close and personal.

She made me an embellished cuffand a little quilt accompanied by a hand embroidered table cloth, doilies and a beautiful handmade card which I believe is made by her daughter. For now I’m sitting here fondling my new treasures and looking at all the details; I’ll figure out where to display them later.

welcome

to my tiny little piece of the Internet; I hope you'll enjoy your stay! Leave a comment if you like; I would love to hear from you. You'll find my patterns and tutorial tabs on the top of the page.All material is copyrighted.

so who am I?

My name is Nina Lise and I live in Norway where I share my life with my (incredible patient) husband, our daughter, two grandboys 9 and 5 (centre of the universe and masters of our house once a week and every other weekend), and an ever growing stash of fabric (lovingly referred to as “crap” by husband).
I have been quilting for 18 years, and it is consuming my time, my budget and large parts of both my brain and our house (hence the patient husband). I am pretty much a design-as-you-make-it-up quilter and enjoy the process even more than the finished project. I love playing with scraps of fabric and turning them into small, funny quilts. My first book was published in March 2012 and I also design patterns and teach classes.
